I cannot sing enough praises about Dr. Yocham and his staff. I have taken all of my animals to him for different things on different occasions as well as foster animals I've had in my care and I have ALWAYS been happy. I think that's pretty impressive for any service related company. As far as the staff and general set-up go I love that they do drop-in appointments (though they are closed for lunch), their prices are very fair and every staff member I have interacted with has been kind, thoughtful and patient.
Dr. Y is truly an expert. I swear this man knows everything there is to know about dogs and cats. I've brought in different breeds with different problems and he has been able to accurately and quickly diagnose their issues every single time. He has been able to correct mis-diagnosis I've received from other vets where the dog has continued to have an issue and has often done it before I've had the chance to tell him the first opinion. He is NOT one of those vets who will tell you a list of twenty things it could be and charge you $100 to run a million tests so they can medically confirm something they probably already suspected. Dr. Y will walk you through his diagnosis explaining why it is what he says it is. Also, he has always thoroughly and kindly answered any and all questions I have had regarding the diagnosis, problem, treatment, etc. I'm one of those people who asks a million questions about everything and many vets I have interacted with are either dismissive or answer ambiguously, but never Dr. Y. He even will answer my hypothetical questions or questions about preventative/future care type things - truly I appreciate his patience in dealing with pet owners like me.
So now if you have read to the end of this very long review, I want you to also know that Dr. Y treats the police dogs and has a history treating racing greyhounds (which I think is cool!). He has performed everything from basic shots to large scale surgery for me. I went through about 5 different vets before I tried out Dr. Y. Now I drive all the way across town to go to him (unless it's a major emergency) because every time I go to another vet for some extenuating circumstance I am reminded why Dr. Y is the best.
